The wording for the rules (if intended to make other parents feel better) should state "experienced caregiver" instead of mom.
I know a lot of mom's I wouldn't leave my dog with so giving birth to/raising a child doesn't automatically qualify you to be a good caregiver.
I'd petition the church board to change the wording of this rule. It needs to reflect today's caregivers.
So I take it the rule would also exclude a father that has parented and raised several children since he too, is not a mom?
Silly rule.....
